UPDATE, April 2021: While plastic is still high on everyone's agenda, including ours and those of our farmers, a reminder that Hackney Council's latest advice still says they do not accept compostable packaging in the blue food waste bins. For now, we are continuing to use plastic bags to protect our leafy greens, while we hunt for an alternative that works with current rubbish and recycling systems. Reuse the bags as much as you can.
